There's a lot going on in North Brunswick these days in both Leland and Belville and especially in between with construction on U.S. 17/74/76 at the Brunswick River.
I recently saw a new aerial map that shows how the landscape will change once the highway is widened, the diverging diamond is criss-crossing under the overpass and Blackwell Road is relocated.

When I give presentations about the economy around the state, I always leave time for questions and answers. Of course, the questions vary based on the group, the location and the most recent economic news.
It's the time of the year here at the Beacon for annual performance reviews. No matter whether I'm the person giving or receiving one, good or bad, I find the whole process nerve-wracking. I have the best boss in the world in Angie Sutton, but every time I got into her office and have to shut the door behind me, I get knots in my stomach and feel like I'm having a flashback to my 12 years in Catholic school.
To the editor:
Kudos to Gail Treglia and the town of Carolina Shores for finally handing out a $100 fine to Eric Tryggeseth, owner of Grand Strand Coffee in Carolina Shores, for the signage that appears on U.S. 17, both northbound and southbound, Saturday mornings then disappears Monday mornings. He has knowingly been violating an ordinance for years knowing officials did not work on the weekends to fine him for the illegally placed signs.
March Madness is especially enjoyable this year for me — ACC fan for 60 years — because five conference teams have made it to the Sweet Sixteen. It is a "one for all, all for one" attitude in the sports arenas.

Subunit of: putrescine ABC transporter
Subunit composition of
putrescine ABC transporter = [PotG]2[PotH][PotI][PotF]
putrescine ABC transporter - ATP binding subunit = PotG
putrescine ABC transporter - membrane subunit = PotH
putrescine ABC transporter - membrane subunit = PotI
putrescine ABC transporter - periplasmic binding protein = PotF
The PotFGHI ATP-dependent putrescine transporter is a member of the ATP Binding Cassette (ABC) Superfamily of transporters [Wu95]. PotFGHI is similar in sequence and subunit composition to the PotABCD putrescine/spermidine uptake system. Based on sequence similarity, PotG is the ATP-binding component, PotH and PotI are the membrane components, and PotF is the periplasmic binding component of the ABC transporter. Knockout and complementation studies showed that the expression of all four proteins was necessary for maximal putrescine transport activity [Pistocchi93]. The PotFGHI transporter is primarily responsible for importing putrescine necessary for cell growth in the presence of glucose whereas the putrescine symporter, PuuP, is required when putrescine is utilised as an energy source in the absence of glucose [Terui13].
Gradual inhibition of PotFGHI mediated putrescine transport occurs as the intracellular level of putrescine increases. PotFGHI enhances cell growth more effectively than PuuP in media containing 0.4% glucose and 10mM putrescine [Terui13].
The PotF protein possesses a high binding affinity to putrescine (Kd=2.0 μM) [Vassylyev98]. Site-directed mutagenesis have shown that PotF is the putrescine-binding protein [Vassylyev98], and gel filtration studies have show that in the presence of 1mM magnesium ion and 100mM potassium ion, PotF bound putrescine, but not spermidine, in a 1:1 ratio [Pistocchi93]. A high resolution structure of PotF has been determined by x-ray crystallography [Vassylyev98].
In addition to PotFGHI, PuuP and the spermidine preferential ABC transporter (PotABCD), E. coli K-12 may contain a fourth putrescine uptake system [Terui13].

I can sense a 'let it happen' style in your teaching that is similar to the philosophy of the book 'The Inner Game of Tennis' and it's focus on self B. The concept of natural learning and how forced thoughts can interfere is very interesting, but with this philosophy, how do you deal with fixing flaws or incorporating improvements that are not resolved through natural learning? In other words, where do you draw the line between 'let it happen' and 'get your elbow in this position'?
I see your point. What I am afraid of is, I will mention a muscle and you will go out and spend an hour trying to feel that muscle in the shot and get frustrated thinking something is wrong with your serve or you're not doing it right because you just don't feel it.
The "inner game" of tennis is a great book. It is so true, it is scary.
Just yesterday, I was playing a doubles match. I was caught in the backcourt returning a good serve, both of my opponents were at the net, since I am not a great lobber, I decided to use my strength (my forehand) to go right at 'em. I hit two heavy dipping topspin forehands, the player I was hitting to handled both shots with good strong volleys right back to me to keep me pinned (my partner was doing a good job taking away angles as he is an outstanding volleyer and doubles player).
Both of the topspin forehands I hit were very good forehands and I hit those forehands with just a fleeting thought of fluidness through my mind. Then I felt the pressure, on the third forehand I saw the middle open up a little, I loaded and fired, except what raced through my mind was "dont overrotate, aim it through the middle, don't hit it long, dont overhit, they are not going to get this one, I got it, oh baby, look at what Daddy found", guess what, I flubbed it up. The ball went through the middle but it sailed long. I did everything I wasn't suppose to do. After the shot as I was bent over, I slowly lifted my racquet up and hit it against my head a couple times.
I think a person like Eric here on the boards can help you understand the different muscles involved in the serve and there purpose. That is not my cup of tea. I am more focused on transfer of energy and fluidness and to remove myths about wrist snaps etc.. I will try to point you to some deeper references. I just hope it doesn't bog you down and make you forget that tennis is about fluidness and timing.

You have searched for the knowledge for your entire life - searched for the missing parts to the tattered scroll your grandfather left you. Now you finally have it, the incantation that will take you and whoever you choose to bring to the land of giants, home of fabled treasures. Will you choose to take friends? Or will you go alone, risking more in the hopes of greater reward? Even more important, will you survive your stay among giants? Among Giants Map type: Adventure (Single player and 1-4 player multiplayer options) Length: Short Difficulty: Probably easy - this patch actually made it easier. This adventure is quite short - it is a concept map as much as an adventure map. Due to the scale of the build the time spent was far out of proportion to the length of the adventure and I suspect that any longer map of this type would have to be a community build. Still, it was a lot of fun to make and hopefully a fun little story to play through. Feedback is, as always, appreciated! Challenge mode: Use no buff potions. Cheat mode: Find the cheater's chest. Trailer (Thanks to Matthew Dryden!): LP by BlackKhonshu (Move your mouse to reveal the content) LP by BlackKhonshu (open) LP by BlackKhonshu (close)
Finished playing this map after doing a little extra work. It was a little overwhelming at first but I love the thought behind the map and detail put into it. I decided to explore the entire map and found a few surprises as well. Not to mention I manged to achieve(without cheating) what i've decided is one of the secret endings for the map =) Do not click if you have not played the map (Move your mouse to reveal the content) Do not click if you have not played the map (open) Do not click if you have not played the map (close) All the gold is mine!! Played the map in challenge mode and it is just as completeable as normal mode. I would recommend however sticking to normal mode on your playthroughs to enjoy the map properly. All in all a nice map and i'm glad I stopped by to play it.
Grappling hook glitch xD I got in to Good map, but it was really short :/ Unless there were other endings? How did the cheater chest require cheating? You gave us a grappling hook xD
apart from Spoiler (Move your mouse to the spoiler area to reveal the content) Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler saving the npcs trapped on the other side of the starting giant stump nope
Nope. Like I said in the OP, the build time on this map was extremely high for the amount of ground covered. I had more plans for it, but in the end it was just too large of a project and I wrapped it up where you see. I was also running into issues with making things recognizable without having to have a sign to tell you "This is a bed" "This is a workbench" So instead of making this drawn out even farther I just ended it after the one room in the giant's house and called it good.
Nuuuu D: I deleted my char and world already before reading this... Oh well Oh... They're just in a box lol.
There's a nice guide for that at the top of this forum, but basically you just put the file in your My Documents> My Games > Terraria > Worlds. If you have more than five worlds only the top five will show, but since this map starts with an A it should turn up at the top.
This is a great concept for a map, I'd love to see more people trying this out http://www.terrariaonline.com/threads/map-feature-among-giants.55541/
Thank you for making this for us, It was very well made but a little short, could I maybe add to this map to make it longer (I will not take credit. Also meant for you to post.) and you could call it like v2.0?
Love the idea. So original and well put together. I would love to see you take this further, but I understand the limitations of the size of the map, and the scale to which you made it. I will 2nd Chewbacca's request for a 2.o map.
nice map. I didn't notice the chest containing the potion ingredients the first time and made my way through the heater without them at first due to not having a torch out. ^^; Love the prize at the end, I have one hidden in one of my chests in my vault world I created. Your world is also a nice source of blinkroots if you grapple past the stump. and I got a tattered cloth to boot!

President Barack Obama told the nation's governors that both parties must get "past the old dogmas" about education to ensure future U.S. growth.
Obama urged the governors gathered at the White House today to avoid cutting resources for public education as they look for ways to trim budgets.
"No issue will have a bigger impact on the future preservation of our economy than education," the president told the National Governors Association, which is holding its annual conference in Washington. "Too many states are making cuts to education that I believe are simply too big."
As the recovery is gaining steam and U.S. manufacturers are adding jobs, Obama said states must ensure that all their citizens have the skills and education they need to keep the country competitive in the global economy.
The association's meeting is being held against a backdrop of election-year politics focused on the economy. The jobless rate has fallen in 46 of the 50 states in December compared with a year ago, Labor Department figures show. Only in Illinois, Hawaii, North Carolina and Mississippi have rates worsened in the past year.
The job gains also have helped propel gains in the housing market, which has been a drag on the recovery. The National Association of Realtors reported its index of home resales climbed 2 percent in January, more than forecast.
The accelerating recovery has improved fiscal outlooks for states. For the past four years, U.S. states struggled to close more than $500 billion of budget shortfalls caused by the longest recession since the 1930s.
"I get a sense that most governors are feeling a little bit better," Governor Dave Heineman, the Nebraska Republican who is chairman of the National Governors Association, said as he opened the group's meeting Feb. 25.

I made this for a Christmas gathering. My family loved it. It was the first bowl to empty. Quick and easy recipe. I used microwave popcorn. Delicious!
Yum, yum, yum! I have made this several times, and people ALWAYS want the recipe! Place in small bags, tie with a ribbon, and presto, the perfect Christmas thank you gift! You have to try this snack.
excellent. I subbed honey roasted peanuts for the pecans, and I added m&ms to the mix once it was cooled. I also doubled the recipe so I could share with friends. This is really great, not really like caramel corn, more of a crunchy toffee-like coating on the mix- very addicting.

India is looking to acquire uranium mining assets abroad and enter into a long-term contract with some of the suppliers to meet the future fuel requirements of the nuclear power plants in the country.
Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) Director, R. K. Sinha said that in the new scenario there were opportunities to own uranium mining assets and enter into long-term contracts. "We are exploring… it certainly is on our agenda", he said without specifying a time-frame for such a deal.
Talking to reporters after the inaugural function of the 22nd annual conference of the Indian Nuclear Society-INSAC-2011 here on Thursday, he could not say anything specific about Australia's willingness to lift the ban on sales of uranium.
Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) Srikumar Banerjee expressed confidence that the stalemate over the Kudankulam nuclear plant in Tamil Nadu would be resolved and "we will be able to win the hearts of the people." He said that a 15-member experts team, appointed by the Centre, which visited the site previously, had two meetings with the panel constituted by the Tamil Nadu government and gave written answers to them on all points. These were being explained to the local people.
Seeking to allay fears, he asserted that there was no question of any problem such as the one experienced in Fukushima, Japan in the wake of the tsunami which damaged the plant. He said there would be no impact of the nuclear plant on the fishing activities of the local people or their livelihood. There was enough proof on this count at the Tarapur or Kalpakkam atomic plants.

Trash Haulers: The Story of the C-130 Hercules Troop Carrier/Tactical Airlift Mission
Item Description
On August 23, 1954 the most successful airplane in aviation history took to the skies on its maiden flight. A little over two years later the first operational airplanes were delivered to the 463rd Troop Carrier Wing at Ardmore A.F.B., Oklahoma. Over the next 21 years Tactical Air Command, United States Air Forces Europe and Pacific Air Forces troop carrier/tactical airlift crew amassed a heroic and impressive record from Africa to Vietnam. Trash Haulers is a revision of a 1988 T.A.B./Aero publication by Sam McGowan, who was part of that mission.

Ankle weights are one of the best ways in which to add resistance to your lower body training, by targeting certain muscle groups. The leg and hip joint are like a lever and fulcrum. With the hip being the fulcrum, the farther away the weight, the harder it is to lift and balance. The same can be said for the knee joint as well. By adding a minimum amount of weight, the leg muscles must exert considerable effort to lift and balance the weights, which provides maximum results.
**Each ankle weight is 5lbs with removable weights weighing 1lb each. These weights are NOT waterproof.**

A modified TDCB specimen was used to compare crack resistance in pure mode I and mixed mode I–III loading. Static and fatigue tests were conducted on two commercial, modified epoxy film adhesives (FM 73 and FM 300K) having a wide open knit polyester carrier. The fatigue tests were conducted at 10 Hz in a low humidity and at 3 Hz in a high humidity.
The fracture toughness of both adhesive systems, in terms of Gtotal, was 1 ⅔ to 2 times higher for the mixed-mode specimens than for the pure mode I specimens. For the dry fatigue tests, ΔGT for a fixed crack growth rate was also much higher for mixed mode than for Mode I cracking. A fracture law based on these data would be quite different from one based on the large amount of mixed mode I–II data now available. These differences appear to be the result of differences in fracture behavior produced by different types of carrier cloths. For Mode I cracking in the present study, separation occurred between the adhesive and the carrier cloth, which lowered both the cyclic and static debond resistance to values less than those reported earlier for FM 300 with a tricot knit carrier. For the mixed-mode specimens, on the other hand, the carrier cloth, rather than separating from the adhesive, shredded, which increased the crack resistance above the mixed-mode values reported previously for FM 300. This behavior suggests that the carrier cloth in film adhesives has a greater influence on crack resistance than generally thought. Thus fracture laws for adhesive joints may also be more complex than previously thought.

When Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn announced their split in December, their reps told PEOPLE they remained good friends – and it looks like they still are.
Vaughn, 36, was a guest at Aniston's 38th birthday party on Saturday at the Beverly Hills home of her best friend, Courteney Cox. (Aniston's actual big day was Sunday.)
The actor stayed for about two hours along with guests including Sandra Oh, David Spade, Patricia Arquette and Kathy Najimy.
Vaughn previously showed his support for his ex at the People's Choice Awards on Jan. 10. They each earned trophies for their romantic comedy The Break-Up, and upon accepting his award, Vaughn thanked Aniston and called her "one of the great people in Hollywood."
The two began dating in the summer of 2005 while filming The Break-Up. That June, Vaughn told PEOPLE of his costar: "She's awesome. She has just a wonderful warmth and likeability about her."

HTTP Status 417: Expectation Failed
Hope someone knows the solution to this problem as it's driving me insane !
I have Visual Studio Pro 2005 installed. I do NOT have the local MSDN installed. I want to use online version only.
Whenver I go to the help I get "Information not found". Document explorer is configured to use "Online first, then local".
If I hit the search button and enter a search string I get the error message below:
Search Failed.
The request failed with HTTP Status 417: Expectation failed.
If I try to 'download provider list' in the help options I get error message :
Unable to retrieve resources from the MSDN service.
The start page loads the MSDN without problem - as does my web browser.
I have proxy configuration script - have tried some suggestions on here for that but they don't seem to be related to this error message.
Any ideas anyone ??Monday, March 06, 2006 2:15 PM
It seems that this error can also occur on some proxies that don't support "100 continue" expectation. The workaround is to add the following to the dexplore.exe.config file.
<servicePointManager expect100Continue="false" />

Can you describe your proxy environment, i.e. whether it is ISA or Squid or something else? Also, does it require authentication when browsing in IE?
SaurabhWednesday, March 15, 2006 1:52 AMModerator -
Researching on the internet, it seems that some ad-blocking/SOAP blocking proxies result in the HTTP 417 errors. Following is an example of it.
Is it possible that proxies you are using are using one of blocking mechanisms? Help Search using Web Service calls and will fail if SOAP message is blocked.

Hi. I added these lines to the web.config of my WCF project but the services still give me the 417 protocol error.Friday, June 24, 2011 4:58 PM
Hi Saurabh,
I have tried above solution and also tried to modify devenv.exe.config file with:
<defaultProxy useDefaultCredentials="true" enabled="true">
<proxy usesystemdefault="True" />
</defaultProxy>For my problems I do not see either of them are working. I am using VS2010 SP1 REL on Windows7. I am facing similar two issues:
1) Could not search in online Galary in Extension Manage, error says "Cannot search for online extensions becuase an error occured while trying to contact the server.", though I am on firewall with restrictions enforced by windows authentication.
2) On the Start Page (VS2010) in Latest News section, I amnot able to browse on of the RSS feed. I have alos check with different RSS provided on asp.net website. also I have tried setting up diffrent options in Tools-Options-Environment-Startup etc. but no luck.
I hope to hear from you soon. Thanks!
Monday, June 27, 2011 3:20 PM -
KB 910804 explains where to find the dexplore.exe.config file, although it doesn't seem to know about 64-bit versions, so the path may need appropriate changes to compensate for this.
Answering policy: see profile.Wednesday, November 23, 2011 10:11 AM -
For Visual Studio 2008, the file you must change is the devenv.exe.config - then insert the <servicePointManager expect100Continue="false" /> under the <system.net> and <settings> tags.Tuesday, August 07, 2012 2:28 PM

25-27 ft SF Bay boat recommendations

Thanked 2 Times in 2 Posts
Rep Power:
Newport 28 would be a nice choice; or a Newport 27. The 28 is a C&C design. IIRC there is an Islander 28 also that would be similar to the Newport 28 or equivalent Ericson.
Prices on used boats are down/dropping right now so you might even find a 30' boat in your price range that might need some minor fixing. As far as "comfortable on the bay" goes; most sub-36' boats are going to be wet on days when the wind and chop is up. I think if you are looking for "comfort" while sailing a sub-30' boat on the bay the best thing to do is to find a marina that is not directly in the wind of The Slot when you head out. Marinas like Brickyard Cove, Marin, Alameda, TI, Richmond (Marina Bay), or South of the Bay Bridge would be good places to get a slip. If it's too heavy on the central bay there are always places to sail and stay out of the direct wind coming in through The Gate. I'm at Marina Bay and it's great because if we don't want to sail on the central bay we can sail up into San Pablo Bay or over to Marin via Raccoon Strait without sailing in the 35kt winds.

Critic Reviews
Score | |
80 | The New York Times This animated feature effort is a significant step forward from the studio's "Ice Age" films, in the richness of its cast, the exuberance of its music and the vibrance of its palette. |
75 | Washington Post Ann Hornaday This is a movie that imbues even the hoariest quest-peril-life lesson tropes of family animated films and imbues them with new life and rhythm. |
75 | San Francisco Chronicle Amy Biancolli The humor's a little strange, and the action's a little frenetic, but all of it whooshes past in a swirl of tropical color and pseudo-South American bonhomie. Gorgeous scenery meets oddball characters and mild ethnic stereotyping. |
75 | Boston Globe Wesley Morris Makes the surprising and seemingly inarguable assertion that, if we're not all Brazilian, then, at the very least, Brazil is a state of mind. |
70 | Variety Leslie Felperin Like its flight-challenged parrot protagonist, Rio takes a while to get off the ground but manages to soar by the end. |
70 | Los Angeles Times Betsy Sharkey What we have here is truly a rare bird, and I'm not talking about the world's last two blue macaws…No, the nearly extinct species of which I speak is the G-rated family movie – nice for a change to sit through a film with literally no cringe or fear factor. |
70 | Wall Street Journal Joe Morgenstern The production eventually succumbs to motion overload-so many characters darting off in so many directions that the ending turns unfocused, even flat. But watching them go by is great fun, and there are worse things than a movie that can't stop moving. |
63 | Rolling Stone Peter Travers A brightly-colored, dizzying pinwheel of 3D animation in which nothing much happens. Sounds like summer is here early. |
63 | USA Today Claudia Puig For its stunning iridescent look and infectious music, Rio is a refreshing adventure worth taking. |
50 | Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman The soundtrack, overseen by Sergio Mendes, has a few lively bossa nova moments, but not nearly enough. |

Police discovered the body of Jennifer Huston on Tuesday near Sheridan, Ore., after a property owner reported her SUV on his land. Brian Casey, chief of the Newberg-Dundee Police Department, said there were no signs Huston had been a victim of violence.
"Because this is pending death investigation, we are not releasing the apparent cause of death,'' Casey said at a news conference late Tuesday.
Huston, 38, disappeared July 24 from her home in Dundee, 25 miles southwest of Portland in the Willamette Valley. She was captured by surveillance cameras at an ATM, a drug store and a gas station before vanishing.
The search became a national story with reports she had been spotted on a ferry to the San Juan Islands in Washington State. Her husband, Kallen, appealed publicly for information.
Huston had two young sons.

Tag switching didn't pay off for a LaFollette woman who was arrested on shoplifting charges last week.
On March 13, around 9:30 p.m., Jacksboro Police Officer Josh Carroll was dispatched to Wal-Mart on the report of a shoplifter, the arrest report said.
After arriving on the scene, Carroll learned from a loss prevention agent that Sarah Christian Wallace, 28, of 603 Rose Hill Drive, LaFollette, had allegedly switched tags on merchandise and paid for an item at a false price, the arrest report said.
One trip to the courthouse apparently wasn't enough for a Jacksboro man who was arrested on drug charges in sessions court last week.
On March 9, Travis Lynn Paul, 30, of 478 Elkins Road, Jacksboro, was issued a failure to appear warrant for being late for his court date, according to Jacksboro Police Officer Josh Carroll.
While he has not been formally charged with any crimes a White Oak Elementary School teacher will be spending some time off the job until the outcome of a criminal investigation.
Christopher Neil Perry, of 502 South Indiana Avenue, was suspended without pay after LaFollette Police officers executed a search warrant at the special education teacher's home last Thursday.
When County Mayor William Baird exercised his veto power more than a year ago hopes for the construction of a justice center complete with courtrooms and additional prisoner space seemed out of reach.
But after months of being off the radar Commissioner Johnny Joe Dower resurrected the discussion during February's commission meeting.
Public records are just that, public.
But at what cost do these records come? The quest for information is a common one, whether by citizens or journalists. But information often comes at a price. In fact, information requests recently cost the Press $100. But how much is too much, and just exactly what are governing bodies and entities allowed to charge?
While it is normal for a copy fee to be charged, some municipalities may in fact be over or even undercharging for copies and record reproduction.
Businesses come and go. And with economic times such as they are it seems that more are going than coming.
H & E Block Supply, formerly Loby Blox, was one local business that suffered the ill effects of the tanking economy.
While the concrete block plant bustled with activity for decades providing material for what would eventually become the foundation of more than a few businesses and homes in Campbell and the surrounding counties, the nearly screeching halt of new construction in the area forced its doors to close last year.
At the end of an emotionally charged meeting, Campbell County citizens were still in the dark regarding a traffic light on Highway 63.
A budget amendment involving legal fees was fodder for a lively discussion at Monday's budget and finance committee meeting.
When Richard Terry, deputy finance director, introduced the amendment that would provide $2,500 to secure representation for Jeff Marlow, finance director, in what has turned into a legal battle with Sheriff Gary Perkins a number of commissioners were left asking why.
Perkins and Marlow went toe to toe in August 2009 over the issue of employee classification.

In Who Can't Raise Capital?: The Scylla and Charybdis of Capital Formation, 102 Ky. L.J. 1 (2013-2014), Duke University Professor James D. Cox tackles the widespread criticism of state blue sky laws as barriers to capital formation. Along the way, he critique's California's limited offering exemption (Corp. Code § 25102(f)) as follows:
It is ironic, if not paradoxical, that the hotbed of entrepreneurism, and one of the most resilient economies during the financial crisis, California, is among the most restrictive states in the scope of its exemptions. California limits the exemption to thirty–five persons (including those outside of California) and bars general solicitation and advertisements in connection with the offering. What makes this California exemption restrictive is that each of the purchasers either must enjoy a personal relationship with the issuer or be reasonably assumed to have the capacity to protect his own interest in the transaction. Thus, unlike Massachusetts or Texas, the exemption does not afford a means for the issuer to distribute any part of its offering to the residual class of investors.
102 Ky. L.J. at 10 (footnotes omitted). While it is true that California's statute refers to "all purchasers," the phrase "all purchasers" doesn't really mean all purchasers. Rule 260.102.12(d)(2) provides that the phrase does not include purchasers excluded from the 35-person count either by virtue of Section 25102(f)(4) or Rule 260.102.13. Thus, the statute is not as restrictive as it may seem.
Professor Cox also doesn't mention the exemption in Section 25102(n) which dovetails with the federal exemption in Regulation CE. That exemption does permit a limited general announcement. See California's General Announcement Exemption.

In a fit of apparent egomania, RW's Kerry claimed he could outrun Usain Bolt over 10K. But is it as absurd as it sounds?
Kerry is already a whole 60 seconds behind. 'Bolt's specialist sprint training means that his gait is optimised for speed,' says Bill Baltzopoulos, Professor of Biomechanics at Brunel University.
'His powerful knee lift, high heel flicks and strong hip flexors help his feet spend as little time in contact with the ground as possible. Bolt would spend half the time in contact with the floor than Kerry would – around 0.1 seconds per step as opposed to at least 0.2.'
The longer your foot spends on the floor the more impact force you are sending through your body, and the longer it takes for you to lift your foot through the rest of the gait cycle and propel your body forward, says Baltzopoulos.
The ideal scenario is not to sink into the ground and then lift yourself up and off, but to try to have your foot brush the ground briefly on its way through, landing as lightly as possible.
'Improve your leg stiffness,' says running coach Scott Mitchell (moveclinics.com). 'The stiffer your leg during contact, the quicker your landing will be.'
Here's how: 'Include some fast running in your training,' says Mitchell. 'Once a week, after an easy run, do a set of short sprints – say, 6x60m at full speed. You'll get even more benefit if you do the sprints on a steep hill. Also, add some plyometrics [jumping drills] to your training.
If you don't have time to include a separate session in your week then do the drills in the middle of a run: break stride and hop forward on one leg for 20 strides, then hop on the other leg. Gradually build up to 2x30 hops on each leg.' If you're bothered about other runners calling the men in white coats when they see you, make sure you do it on one of your more remote runs.
